I Should Coco - Supergrass

During the 90's I was happily swimming in the Britpop bubble, where every new band was the next best thing, and the pool of British music talent was endless. As with most scenes or movements the bubble burst, and whilst it meant some bands who were riding the wave came crashing down, it's was only the truly great bands who kept on swimming. The testament to Supergrass' musical abilities lies in the fact that they are still around today. While Britpop lightweights Menswear, Northern Uproar and Echobelly were soon found lacking, The Supergrass boys showed they had enough music in their tanks to go for a long journey. Maybe like a few others, it was ...  Read the complete review

I should Coco was the debut album by Oxford based three piece Supergrass, the album was vibrant, fun and really fitted with the early nineties era of indie music and Britpop. Characterised by the charming anthem 'Alright' this album was a storming pop-punk debut which really labelled the band with a sound and image they subsequently found it difficult to move on from, at one point it is alleged that Steven Spielberg even offered to help them produce a tv series similar to the sixties cult classic, 'The Monkees. Album Tracks I'd Like to Know - This is a storming opener, like a crazed pub band on acid, this mixes sixties influences with superb ...  Read the complete review

I love this cereal, it is chocolatey and sweet. The milk turns chocolatey, for a long time no other cereal did this and kelloggs coco pops was a very popular cereal then and still is now. I really like chocolate or anything chocolatey so this is my favourite cereal, i eat it as snacks, breakfast, before i go to sleep, i never get tired of it. It is a treat for young kids and mainly aimed at them but it does not mean us older people can not have them. I think this is a very nice cereal and i definatley reccommend it if your a choclate lover. ...  Read the complete review

I don't think I know of another album with such an exuberant, extravagant, fast and furious start as I Should Coco by Supergrass. For those of you not in the know (and if not, WHY NOT!), Supergrass are a three piece band hailing from the deepest, darkest depths of Oxford and are made up by Gaz Coombs on lead and vocals, Danny Coffey on drums and Mick Quin on bass guitar. I should Coco was their first album, and lodged itself at No.1 in the UK album chart during the long, hot summer of 1995 and was nominated for the Mercury Music Prize and sold nearly a million copies world-wide. After a quick, drum stick tapping count in, (1,2, 1,2,3,4!) we ...  Read the complete review

Well, what can I say. This has to be one of the best albums that I've ever purchased. Unfortunately Supergrass are still one of the most underrated acts in Britain today. This, their debut album, has all the energy and drive that is Supergrass. This album kicks off with the superb 'I'd Like to Know' which is very characteristic of all early Supergrass songs. Mansize Rooster and Caught by the Fuzz continue the same sort of reggae/indie/rock theme and then you hit the song which launched Supergrass into the big time. I mean of course 'Alright'. This was a huge hit in 1995 and started to make people sit up and think, hey maybe supergrass are ...  Read the complete review
